☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Grass Grows High...", three men on the run after a stage holdup find themselves caught between the lawless frontier and a sudden ambush by Confederate guerrillas, their path to safety blocked by the harsh realities of the Old West. Penciled and inked by Gerald McCann, this tense Western tale unfolds with the stark, detailed style that defined the era, while the cover by John Prentice captures the story’s gritty atmosphere in striking detail.
Dr. Lee Page, a frontier physician bound by his Hippocratic oath, treats a wounded bank robber seeking shelter—only to face a tragedy that shatters his life and turns the town against him in "The Grass Grows High..." When a new banker arrives determined to drive the outcast doctor from the community, the years of suspicion and heartbreak come to a reckoning. A haunting tale of principle, loss, and the price of standing alone in the Old West.
After a stage holdup, Deke, the Pueblo Kid, and Wade Crandell head toward the Arab’s way-station, hoping to trade their stolen goods for food and fresh horses—only to be intercepted by a band of Confederate guerrillas.
When a slick city man named Clem Pearson rolls into town with nothing but a satchel of soap and a sharp mind, the local rough boys—led by the notorious Jake Coburn—aren’t impressed. But when a gang of bankrobbers rides in, Clem’s unorthodox methods, including a surprise with boiling soap, prove harder to shake than a bad reputation. Sheriff Scanlon and the ever-suspicious Hoss-Trade Harry watch closely as the unlikely showdown unfolds.
Tin-horn chiseler Benny Coogan claims the beautiful singer and dancer Trixie Webster is coming to town to visit him—a claim that earns him Mac Vingo's grudging respect and an invitation to show her around. When Trixie arrives, the charming gambler woos her with roses and diamonds, and she eagerly joins a poker game that night, eager to say she played with the famous Mac Vingo. What unfolds is a lesson neither man saw coming, as beginner's luck proves far more dangerous than either gambler bargained for.
In this 1951 tale, veteran scout Buckskin Benson and his talkative sidekick Muskrat discover that an aging frontier scout named Ike Sumpter has been coerced by the no-good Eli Brazier into guiding him to Thunder Mesa—where Brazier hopes to capture the legendary phantom ponies and use them to terrorize the territory. When Muskrat impulsively mounts one of the wild horses and gets swept toward the herd, and Brazier's ruthlessness turns violent, Buckskin finds himself racing against time to protect his friends and stop a desperate man from getting his hands on the fastest horses in the West.
